You Wanna Dance? You Wanna Feel the Heat With Mamma Mia! But First... Where's the Party At?
So, you're in London, the city that practically pulsates with music (and double-decker buses, but that's a story for another time). You've heard the rumors, the whispers of a theatrical extravaganza filled with dancing queens, take a chance heroes, and Waterloo sunsets. Yes, my friend, you're hot on the trail of Mamma Mia!
But hold your horses (or should I say, dancing shoes?) before you grab your platform boots and head out into the West End. The first question on every aspiring Mamma Mia! attendee's mind is: Just where is this disco inferno of a musical playing?
Mamma Mia! Has Found Its Forever Home (For Now)
Fear not, seeker of sequins and singalongs! Mamma Mia! isn't some fleeting pop star, here today and gone tomorrow. This show is a London mainstay, having shimmied its way into the hearts of audiences for over two decades. But just like Donna and the Dynamos back in the day, it's had a couple of different digs.
Originally, Mamma Mia! boogied on down at the Prince Edward Theatre. Then, in 2004, it did a little shuffle over to the Prince of Wales Theatre. But worry not, since 2012, Mamma Mia! has found its permanent (well, at least for now) place to belt out those ABBA classics at the Novello Theatre.
So there you have it! The Novello Theatre in London's West End is where the Mamma Mia! magic happens.
Now that you know the address, all that's left to do is grab your tickets, dig out your most outrageous outfit (think flares, feathers, anything that screams 70s!), and get ready to dance, sing, and maybe even shed a tear (looking at you, "Slipping Through My Fingers").
